From teen vampires to Elvis's hair: the curious world of Collectibles

Here we take a closer look at investing in some of the more unique collectibles on the market...

In May this year, Robert Pattinson, the star of the "Twilight" teen vampire film saga that's been breaking box office records, reported a rather unusual theft.
According to a spokesman for "R-Patz":

"Robert has had his hair cut short for a movie role but his discarded hair has gone missing!"

While the hair has yet to re-surface, the strong suspicion is that it could soon be coming to auction.
And if it does appear at auction, it could prove to be one of the collectible investments of the year.
That's because hair is the new must-have unique item of the celebrity collectibles market with collectors already paying thousands for famous strands of brown, blonde and black.
Many of you, whether collectors or investors, will be new to the idea of collecting hair, but it's an area of collecting that has been slowly building up for over 100 years.
...So, whoever does have Robert Pattison's hair may want to keep a close eye on his career, otherwise it could be a case of valuable hair today, gone tomorrow.
